| WTB: Empty Cab in MD/DC (Rockville) Area - **CAB PURCHASED** |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Necro:
If one pops up, hoping someone will see this even though I know it's a long shot. I'm looking for an empty cab to restore into a MAME cabinet. While I've seen a few pop up that could be usable, I don't want to MAME something that someone could really restore into the original game or use the art if the cab/boards are all still together and semi-functional. Thanks in advance if anyone has something they are trying to get rid of or sees something somewhere I may not be checking. WTB for the right price or simply take off your hands. |

Did you see my Super Pac thread below. I'm not too far from Rockville. |
| Necro:
I did - I really thought someone would want the cab for a rebuild and feel bad about stripping it down or MAMEing it. Only other issue was the screen being tilted down so low...I was going for a 'universal cab', and the tilt on this and similar cabs would make it hard to play with non-vert games and multiplayer....or am I wrong on that? (After looking at some project threads, I really think I have a good idea for this cab, rebuild into a Super PacMAME with a leaning towards vertical games....the lack of a control panel really makes it seem perfect for this...) |
| Necro:
In case anyone was peeking in here, I didn't manage to get the cab so still looking for something. Although now I'm really keyed up to locate a cab I can make look good again and MAME at the same time - maintain the motif of the old cab, but have it usable for a decent number of MAME games. I've decided a Frankenpanel is not the way I want to go and I want something that looks good like the cabinets I remember. :) Any advice would also be welcome on how to locate a cab in this area for this in addition to people actually selling cabs. This far I've written 3 distributors I've located in the area, one that 2600 directed me too. |

Hey Necro.... Here is my situation... I have a Stern cabinet... its a vertical setup. Its in need of a good home...but...I would like for it to become a Scramble. .. so I bought all these things... and would like to have them convey with the cab. 1x Scramble metal control panel (beautiful new QuarterArcade repro) 1x Scramble bezel (really cool artwork and in really good shape!) 1x Scramble Marquee (decent shape) 2x Scramble board sets (working) 1x Scramble to JAMMA adapter 1x 8 Way Wico Let me know if you are interested The cab could really use a sand and paint... its pretty fugly... those old stern cabs had horrible texture and this one has been re-coated. PS. I'm really close to Rockville. |
